MEET THE TEAM

Chaim founded Boston Athletic Training and leads its basketball and performance programs. On the court, he works with athletes on basketball skills and gives them opportunities to use those skills in games. His football work brings speed, strength and combine preparation into the same training plan.

Eli has spent more than eight years training hundreds of athletes. He coaches both sides of speed development: how an athlete moves through the first few strides of a sprint, and how they build the strength to push off and change direction. His BAT groups include youth speed and agility, strength and plyometrics.

Alvin works with middle school and high school football players on what happens before and after the catch. For receivers, that means getting off the line, running a route and securing the ball. For backs, the emphasis shifts to carrying the ball securely and moving with it in space.

Brendan coaches the details of line play from both sides of the ball. His work starts before contact, with the stance and first step, then moves to hand placement and leverage. Offensive linemen work on protecting the passer; defensive linemen work on the technique of getting past a blocker.

Derek works with receivers and tight ends on the sequence of a passing play: releasing from the line, running the route and finishing the catch. His position training gives athletes a place to focus on footwork or catching mechanics when one part of that sequence needs attention.

John coaches line technique across age groups and introduces younger players to football fundamentals. An athlete learning a position for the first time has a different starting point from a lineman refining technique. John’s work at BAT spans both stages.

Nate coaches defenders on coverage footwork, breaking toward the ball and getting into position to tackle. His work is a fit for defensive backs who want to sharpen their movement in coverage, as well as defenders who want focused practice on tackling technique.
